David Petraeus resigned his post as director of the Central Intelligence Agency on Friday, citing an extramarital affair.

Petraeus visited the White House on Thursday to ask President Barack Obama to accept his resignation “for personal reasons,” he said in a statement to CIA staff. “After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours.”

I don't know a whole lot about him personally, but it seems that this comes as a huge surprise to many of his colleagues. It's unfortunate, but it's great to see him putting his family first in this matter.

As he shouldn't be. Questions need answers.

If he gets called to testify before congress, or anywhere else, you can bet dollars to donuts that the big O will claim executive privilege and pull the plug on it. Can't have the people get the actual facts on Bengahzi any more than you can have them get the real facts behind Fast and Furious.
